i sure don't want to hurt no one Thoughts ceased, movements ceased, everything stopped for a few brief moments and it was heavenly. The once-King had never felt such peace in all of his life, but then again.. most of his life had been living for everything and everyone but himself. A life like that was fine for a season, but eventually he was doomed to buckle under the pressure. Eventually he would fall, and he had fallen hard. But those thoughts didn't cloud his mind on this night, for these brief moments. As he relished in the first fifteen minutes of restful sleep he'd gotten in weeks, his ears twitched toward a sound - Loccian. Immediately his body shifted, arousing himself enough to realize she was having a nightmare. Reluctantly he stood, nearly bumping his head on the roof of the den as he did so. He inched toward her, tentatively whispering her name - as if that might wake her or calm her. "Loccian," he called, but it was far too quiet. As he neared her he nudged her shoulder with his muzzle, speaking a bit louder now. She needed to wake up. "Loccian, you are only dreaming." He shifted so that he was laying on his stomach, his warmth pressing into her lightly. Gently he swiped his tongue across the same shoulder he'd nudged. "So much for a peaceful night," he mused softly. |
